« Il est temps de passer à la coopération, la solidarité et l’entraide. L’enjeu est celui d’un saut de conscience humain, d’une humanité solidaire et fraternelle à créer. Cet enjeu est le vœux que je formule pour cette nouvelle année, pour cette nouvelle société, à construire, ensemble ». Yannick Le Guern , CEO B1-AKT
Our CEO Laura Iuliana PETRACHE New Year’s wishes: a statement of peace, betterness, and cohesive societies.
« Dearest Humanity, During the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has reminded the world of its fragility and demonstrated the inherent risks of high levels of interdependence. In coming years, the world will face more intense and rapid global challenges. These challenges will repeatedly test the resilience and adaptability of communities, states, and the international system, often exceeding the capacity of existing models.
In Franţa a apărut volumul „A l’aube de l’humanité. Idées concrètes pour changer le monde” – „In zorii umanităţii. Idei concrete pentru a construi o lume mai bună” (editura L’Harmattan). Co-autorii cărţii – Laura Petrache şi Yannick Le Guern – propun un diagnostic complet al actualelor şi viitoarelor crize şi sugerează noi viziuni, metode şi concepte pentru a construi o umanitate mai bună. Despre acest eseu filosofico-politic ne vorbeşte în cele ce urmează Laura Petrache.
Pour « Be One Humanity / L’E.T.R.E – Entrepreneurs d’humanité » nous recherchons en France un lieu avec intérêt culturel, historique, architectural (type château, couvent, abbaye, bâtiments industriels, gare, sheds, hôpital, siège de banque ou d’entreprise, etc.) à racheter pour somme symbolique afin de créer un projet culturel, entrepreneurial et économique, citoyen et sociétal, ancré dans un territoire et une volonté de développement d’une région / d’une communauté de communes.
L’E.T.R.E est un Lieu pour Évoluer Transformer Repenser Entreprendre. Dans L’E.T.R.E, on crée, on forme, on apprend, on fait ensemble, on fabrique, on participe, on crée du lien social, de la citoyenneté… et on invente le monde.
Le Projet
Un projet entrepreneurial et économique pour un territoire résilient apprenant et inclusif. Un lieu hybride d’expérimentation et d’innovation : culturel, entrepreneurial et économique,citoyen et sociétal.
Creating knowledge, building confidence, and breaking down barriers to opportunity with « L’outil en main » association.
Traditional craftsmanship is in need of a new self-understanding and increased public awareness of its value to society.
Entire occupational fields are threatened with extinction along with their associated bodies of knowledge and skills, and it is high time that these negative tendencies be countered—not only as a sustainable answer to global mass-market production and excessive consumption, but also in the interest of providing future generations with training and career opportunities that are both sensible and promising.
L’exposition collective En Otro /Em Outro Poder, présentée au centre de création Le 6b du 06 au 20 mars 2021, propose une constellation d’expériences et d’œuvres d’art réalisées par 15 artistes latino américain.e.s qui s’interrogent sur des sujets brûlants de l’actualité mondiale comme les rapports de pouvoir et de domination entre peuples et territoires, la crise environnementale, la [re]construction, [re]invention et [re]connaissance des identités et cosmovisions marginales ainsi que la fin de l’hégémonie de la rationalité et de l’universalisme occidental et son régime de [in]visibilité.
Quelles sont les mutations concrètes du monde ? Vers quoi vont-elles ? Que sont les changements de paradigmes sociétaux, les nouvelles aspirations des individus et des peuples ? Comment interpréter la montée de la violence, des revendications et l’accélération de la remise en cause de ces paradigmes ? Quels sont les nouveaux engagements/responsabilités citoyens individuels et collectifs ? Peut-on évoluer lors des périodes de chaos ? Quelles sont les destructions-créatrices nécessaires ?

Our Newsletter is out! « There are times when our work impacts us deeply — sometimes in ways we neither acknowledge nor understand. At B1-AKT, we believe that knowledge is most valuable when put to use for the greater good.
Change takes time. Social and environmental challenges such as persistent poverty, climate change or racism cannot be solved with a short-term mind-set.
Businesses and investors have the ability and the responsibility to help steer our world onto a more sustainable path. It is the beneficial impact of businesses and of human entrepreneurial spirit that we seek to harness in our bid to help, contributing towards a better world, for current and future generations. The impact you choose to highlight can be wide ranging and can affect many aspects of people’s lives. We all have impact on the histories we are creating today! What is yours?
The landscape of today’s problems is rapidly changing. While we’ve made significant progress, many existing social challenges continue to grow in magnitude and complexity, and each year new problems arise. That dramatic change will not be driven by traditional thinking.
Designing solutions for today’s social problems requires an entrepreneurial approach, a mindset that embodies the characteristics of bold thinkers with audacious goals, crafting data-driven strategies with iterative solutions. And it’s important to note that this mindset is not restricted to the traditional definition of an entrepreneur.
If we want to be a leader in the area of social change, we need to appreciate that learning leadership skills alone will not be enough to make a positive impact. If you want to be a leader of change that has a positive social impact, pause and put the books down, clear the busy diary and make space to look first of all at your ‘Soul Compass’.
The project – Faceshield Nova Friburgo – was developed by professors of UFF (Universidade Federal Fluminense) and UERJ (Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro) in Nova Friburgo along side with Persona 3D company, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The power of words should never be underestimated. Words have power and deeply influence our lives. They seep into our consciousness and influence our emotions and our behaviour. They shape how we see the world. Words consist of vibration and sound. It is these vibrations that create the very reality that surrounds us. Words are the creator; the creator of our universe, our lives, our reality.
There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic…
2020 is the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife! As in many other countries, people have been applauding to demonstrate their respect for medical staff. Nurses should not be “Heroes, just for one day”. Nurses are suddenly called heroes, though their work has always been meaningful and saved lives, not just during the COVID-19 crisis. Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, it was known that hospitals in many countries were suffering from years of budget cuts.
So let’s say our thank you, very loudly, but truly invest them with substance: that right now and when this crisis is all over, we will fight alongside you for the conditions and lives you genuinely deserve. #WEAREONE
Les gouvernements sont dépassés par la crise sanitaire et par ses conséquences sociales et économiques, les pires à venir, dans un contexte préalable, de contestation généralisée.
Dans l’opinion et sur les réseaux sociaux, apparaissent des appels – est-ce une conscience ? – à ce que le jour d’après la crise marque une rupture évolutionnaire avec ce que l’on a connu avant, tout en évitant de sombrer dans le chaos.
Dès aujourd’hui, c’est une véritable transformation de notre philosophie politique et de l’action publique, nationale et internationale qui est désormais nécessaire.
Le texte ci-dessous, est un essai de philosophie politique dont le but est de repenser et de reposer des éléments de vision politique au service d’un projet politique, d’un projet de société.
I had a great opportunity to interview Dr. Umesh MUKHI and hear all about his inspiring actions and innovative thinking about “how leaders can effecteviley manage this Coronavirus crisis”.
“The growing pandemic requires an organizational and leadership mindset capable of dealing with complexity while devising adequate responses while considering the needs of its stakeholders.
The most powerful positive we can take from this period of pain and disruption is that the system we’re all so used to will change forever. We will all be better prepared to co-create a new sustainable system. While we’re all practicing ‘physical’ distancing we don’t have to be ‘socially’ distant. Society is coming together in all sorts of creative and supportive ways. In summary: Covid-19 is an opportunity for our collective growth and development.(suite…)
We are happy & proud to share with you the report of our international partner Cultural IP Rights Initiative: Profiles of textile Artisans in Kutch, Gujarat, India. A synopsis of the Report is available here: Synopsis
The innovative character of this field study stems from the cross-disciplinary approach and the exclusive focus on the textile artisan as right-holder.
The cultural perspective merges with a legal perspective and a business perspective so that the artisan is not reduced to a pion in the textile supply chain but viewed as an agent of cultural sustainability.
This Report is an academic resource which can be used in academic settings as well as business frameworks, by designers and textile industry professionals, conscious and culturally aware individuals interested in developing and maintaining sustainable collaborations and engaging in co-creation processes with artisan communities.
“The only thing constant is change” We all have heard this phrase. Maybe so much that we tune it out as a “cliché”. The world around us is constantly disrupting us, everywhere in our lives. Surely one will answer: we cannot control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. But, how do we respond to change, and more importantly how can we influence or even spark it?
Article : De l’« invasion » à la nouvelle cité – Vers une Magna Europa
Laura Petrache et Yannick Le Guern ont créé un modèle d’intégration global, pérenne et européen des migrants pour transformer une crise en opportunité, basée sur un projet politique, sur des engagements citoyens individuels et collectifs renouvelés. Nous leur avons demandé si nous pouvions établir un rapprochement avec l’histoire de la Magna Graecia et en tirer un enseignement pour créer cette Europe humaine et visionnaire dont ils parlent, et qu’ils appelleront « Magna Europa ».
B1-AKT and its leading thinkers are collaborating with global citizens all over Europe. It is gathering participants from 12 countries, across disciplines, in order to experiment and explore how to articulate a trans-national vision of Europe.

The social sector is facing disruption. There is demand for new ideas, products, services, stakeholders, and relationships to overcome pressing societal challenges, and yet demand for support continues to outpace the supply of funding and services.
The Social Impact Lab is responding to this disruption by investing in innovation and creating strategic partnerships that support the social sector that solve social issues.

Fondateur de B1-AKT Leading Sustainable Strategies and Paragon Communication, Yannick Le Guern livre son analyse la crise des « Gilets jaunes », un mouvement qu’il définit comme « l’apax du printemps des peuples ». Alors que nous serions entrés « dans l’ère de la déconstruction de la société », l’entrepreneur milite pour l’instauration d’une « démocratie entrepreneuriale, agissante, globale, participative et citoyenne ». Entretien.

The earth beneath our feet has been formed by intense fire and massive pressure; forged upon the anvil of time into the beautiful, natural world we all see today. It can however, at times, also be challenging due to the hand of ‘Man’ and our relentless need to mould nature to our way. Green spaces, that once were an oasis of calm, have become concrete walls that trap us, closing in on us both mentally (the head) as well as emotionally (the heart).
However, we believe that it is still possible to find ourselves in an exquisitely peaceful space, if we just remember that it is always there if we take steps to return to it. Through mindful awareness, we believe that we are all be able to find emotional and psychological healing.
The essential human skills of empathy or understanding a consumer, defining and calibrating a problem into a problem statement, solving it creatively and collaboratively for the user, and designing solutions that create impact are all skills of the future.
Also, the emergence of the new “sandwich generation” – people in their forties and fifties who are struggling to juggle work with caring for children and elderly parents – combined with smartphone technology, which blurs the boundaries of work and home, has placed people under additional pressure.
Organizations need to take better care of their people and recognize how the demands of work can affect their physical and mental health, as well as their ability to perform well at work. That means placing health and wellbeing at the heart of an organisation.
1) D’où venez-vous, Laura, et quel a été, en quelques mots, votre parcours ?
Where do you come from Laura, and, in a few words, what has been your experience ?
I was born in Romania but I have a profound love for the United States of America where I lived an important period of my life. I discovered there that excellence exists and the path of professionalism is made of a” savant mélange” of humanity, skills, open-mindedness and making decisions. United States of America gave me the chance to act and to innovate. Personally, I define innovation as a social, collaborative process involving artists, scientists, humanists and industry professionals working together on new problems and opportunities raised by technological and cultural change.
Education for sustainability develops the knowledge, skills, values and world-views necessary for people to act in ways that contribute to more sustainable patterns of living. It enables individuals and communities to reflect on ways of interpreting and engaging with the world. Sustainability education is futures-oriented, focusing on protecting environments and creating a more ecologically and socially just world through informed action.

Laura Petrache is talking about migrant entrepreneurship, mentors & migrant relation, intercultural dialogue and networking By supporting migrant and social entrepreneurship we enable others in the wider community to recognize the contributions which migrants bring and this is a very important issue.
The purpose of this report is to serve as a guide for national and international integration governments, actors and facilitators, policy makers, to turn a crisis into a societal, economic, cultural and sustainable development advantage.
This report is based on
The description of a holistic device of migrants* sustainable integration designed & created by B1-AKT

“For me New Leadership is all about courage, creativity, sustainability and faith in people.
It’s a values-based leadership. Leaders as in “global sustainable leaders” need to be motivated by common values, rather than just financial performance.
« For me, the new leadership is change making, driven by transcendent purposes and develops global sustainability.
In my opinion, new leadership must be based on :
values of humanism,
on a will of evolution
and concrete actions, to develop local sustainable communities, in a global context of interdependency.
The new leaders must be aware of a mission, ethically driven, developing axiological action, in other words: creating sustainable communities interacting around common values.
